One of our readers has pointed out that the French Football site Foot-7 is reporting today that the problem with Remi Garde joining Newcastle United as their new head coach, is that Remi wants to bring in his own coaching team.

Remi Garde – wants his own coaching staff at Newcastle It’s been reported before that Remi would want to bring in his own coaches that he had when he was the head coach at Lyon for three years from 2011 – but it seems that Newcastle want to keep their current coaching staff of John Carver, Steve Stone and Andy Woodman in place.

This could well be a legitimate sticking point with the Garde appointment, and we had wondered whether Newcastle would want to keep John Carver and others at the club.

Certainly it would help in the transition over to Remi Garde as head coach having John and his team in place.

That would also explain why another rumor could be true – that Remi wants to start in the summer and not immediately.

Some of his former coaching staff are still at Lyon under new manager Hubert Fournier, and since Lyon are currently top of the French League, there’s just no way those coaches would be allowed to leave before the summer.

That could certainly be a good reason why Garde does not want to start at Newcastle until the summer.

While we don’t know if this report is accurate, it does seem to make sense, and maybe Newcastle should have thought more about this before they let Alan Pardew leave the club in early January?

In pole position to be the new manager of Newcastle, Remi Garde could ultimately no longer occupy the bench deserted by Alan Pardew now to Christal Palace .

Sole candidate for this position, Rémi Garde seems warmer to take the reins of the Magpies after the departure of Alan Pardew to Christal Palace . According to the English press that Footransferts quotes , negotiations between the two parties achopperaient on a detail that would take the former Lyon coach at heart. This would require to come with his own team on the bench Magpies . A choice that would conflict with the refusal of the leaders of the English club obviously determined to keep the current elements of the Newcastle bench. Faced with this position of the club makers, the French coach should , like his compatriot Christophe Galtier St. Stephen , turn away from an experience in the Premier League on the bench Magpies .

This does sound like a legitimate issue, but I hope something is resolved soon – one way or the other. To be fair though, I don’t think the “Sack Pardew” brigade can now be overly critical of the way his departure has been handled. They got what they asked for, and I can only imagine what would’ve been said if we had refused to let him leave just because we weren’t ready with a replacement! I was never a Pardew fan , and I would rather they took a little longer in signing up his replacement to ensure that we get it right this time. Having said all that, I’m as frustrated as the next guy with the apparent lack of ambition and I want to see us get back to our winning ways.

How could Charnley & co. Possibly think that Garde would be fine with not bringing in his own staff? Like what the hell are they even playing at here? This should have been a key factor in any ‘due diligence’ undertaken and should have been sorted either way at the very beginning of any negotiation.

Surely even they aren’t naive nor ignorant enough to assume that Garde would happily walk into a back room with 3 jokers who he doesn’t know and haven’t offered anything to suggest they’re invaluable to this club at any point in the time they’ve been here. This is a huge career choice for someone like Garde and they expect him to take anything on without being 100 percent sure or comfortable.

I am at the end of my tether regarding everything NUFC. There has to be some sort of intervention somehow.

Well, I’m willing to take charge of the intervention GPLF @27. I usually start with some light fonging. Then to get his attention I bring a honey badger into the room and let it have a sniff or two. Then a few words of persuasion such as “get the f**k out of our club Ashhole!” And so on.

surely you should know by now that we have got coaches which are already good enough for suvival?

i think the media are doing their typical wind up stories now because in the eyes of newcastle fans any story is a must read. We are just so desperate for a quality manager, quality players and a new owner.

I get the impression the reason why its taking so long is they have not found the manager who will accept the job with…. 1. Current coaching set up remains 2. Sell any player at anytime 3. Do not attempt progression in cups 4. No say in transfer incomings 5. Basic wage salary 6. Never question Big Mike

Why can’t we get Garde now and if needs be bring his coaching staff in summer.Maybe JC will get the hump and resign with him not getting coach’s job. This way Garde can see how we need to improve and if the staff here are any good for his style.

health update

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and completed four months of chemotherapy in late July and will continue to have hormone treatment.

The cancer spread in the bones but it has been stabilized and has not spread further.

I am still recovering from some of the side effects of the chemo treatment - it's mainly severe fatigue and exhaustion.

Stage 4 cancer is not curable so I will continue to have cat scans and bone scans every four months to ensure the cancer is not spreading.

It is as it is - these things happen - and I will do my very best under the circumstances.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
